Basic Data / Background Information






The transistor is a device first officially released on December 23 1847 it was a device that was a semiconductor that was used to amplify or switch electronic signals which used three prongs as a connection between an external circuit in simpler terms it can turn a current on and off it is very commonly used in most forms of technology if you don't understand this info here's a useful link

The First Functional Transistor



this technology has been replicated many times and has been used many times and has been found in many places the next photo shows a symbol found on a portuguese pathway.

Awesome Fact


This was a photograph that was taken in portugal on a street giving clear evidence that this was world renowned.


What this photo partially shows is the way a transistor works it rebounds a signal to amplify it in a single direction it's kind of like a concentrated explosion they often used to remove sturdy pipes a piece of stronger material is often used to cover gunpowder that way it destroys in a single direction and doesn't damage anything else in the room kind of like it doesn't affect unwanted technology.

Do u think this was the start of the technological advancement?




Yes




No





Was this invented earlier than expected?




Yes




No




If early then why
